Our partnership

We’re working in partnership with founding CEO, Simon Hirst, and the team to accelerate growth by expanding the business’s international reach and broadening the range of services it provides to its clients. Together we are assessing a number of potential acquisition opportunities, with the first having been completed in the first year of our investment.

"We’re excited to be working with Phoenix – our partnership will give us the investment we need to further expand our business and provide a broader range of services for our customers.”

Simon Hirst, CEO of Sygnature
